He was so kind not to show he knew she was blind Oh, so blind! She couldn’t see how kind he used to be And every night he went to the tower Where he spent his time Watching the starry sky
She was always right Always right and knew How to prove he was wrong
All the people talk about them All the people talk about them and say – He spent his life led by his marvelous wife Led by his marvelous wonderful wife
He was so far she didn’t know what he’s thinking about Was he really in or was he really out? And every night he spent in the tower Alone with his books, shaggy dog and telescope He was hiding his wine in the globe
She was always right Always right and knew How to prove he was wrong
After all they couldn’t be sure After all they couldn’t be sure That he spent his life led by his marvelous wife Led by his marvelous wonderful wife
